Science Interactive Named Higher Ed STEM Solution of the Year by EdTech Breakthrough

ENGLEWOOD, CO —June 4, 2025 – Science Interactive, a leader in supporting effective science education, has been named the Higher Ed STEM Solution of the Year in the 7th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.

With student demand for STEM continuing to increase, institutions are re-evaluating their approach in order to deliver online versions of their on-campus offerings. With Science Interactive as their partner, programs have access to high quality hands-on and virtual labs, curriculum across 14 Quality Matters-certified disciplines, and OpenStax textbooks accessible from the same lab management platform used to assess students. Science Interactive makes delivering online and on-campus lab courses easier and more seamless than ever.

This opportunity to expand access to science education while also fostering the kind of learning experience that drives better student outcomes is what caught the EdTech Breakthrough judges’ attention. 

“Science Interactive offers the highest quality curricula for more effective online lab courses. Teaching online feels very different from face-to-face environments, yet online courses are still designed like in-class courses without the important in-class parts tailored for online delivery,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, EdTech Breakthrough. 

“Science Interactive helps instructors deliver the same high quality instruction students would receive in a face-to-face lab. These richly engaging and deeply meaningful lab experiences support better outcomes and student success – expanding access and empowering students to study STEM disciplines. For this reason, Science Interactive stood out as a breakthrough winner!”

The mission of the EdTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work and success in a range of educational technology categories, including Student Engagement, School Administration, Adaptive Learning, STEM Education, Remote Learning, Career Preparation and many more. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 17 different countries throughout the world.

With more than 2,700 nominations, competition for the 2025 EdTech Breakthrough Awards was steep. Other winners from this year include Grammarly, Canva for Education, Amplify Education, Carnegie Learning, IXL, Lenovo, Niche, Logitech, Edmentum, Zoom, Britannica Education, Canvas, Newsela, Anthology, ViewSonic and D2L.
